[That... came out more bitter than he was expecting, and in chagrin he stoppers his disloyal mouth with another slow swig of beer. He doesn't know why he should feel so hurt that Nate isn't sharing more with him-- shallow, superficial friendships are what he's used to; what he's most comfortable with. Anything deeper than that is too dangerous; too uncontrollable.
And yet. And yet.
Wade's chest rises and falls in a sigh.]
Look, I meant what I said. You don't wanna talk about it, an' that's fine. I ain't gonna pry. Not like I've never kept things close to the vest.
[He suddenly turns to catch Nate's eye again, his expression decidedly forthright and candid despite his obvious apprehension.]
But... uh. In the future, if you ever decide you, y'know... can't take it? Don't forget that I'm only a room away, okay?
[The words feel odd in his mouth-- he's not used to offering to be the guy who listens to people's problems. But it's the least he can do for someone who's put up with him for this long, right?]
